Devils struggle with penalty kill as season progresses

The New Jersey Devils are currently experiencing challenges with their penalty kill, ranking among the bottom five teams in the NHL as of their match against Washington on November 13, 2026. This issue culminated in a loss to Winnipeg, where they conceded two goals during penalty kill situations. Although their overall record remains relatively unharmed so far, the inefficiency in this area has raised concerns about their playoff ambitions. The team had a more competent penalty kill last season, finishing 17th with a 79.3% success rate, leading to questions about current coaching strategies or systemic issues.
